"Something wicked this way comes."

Ambition runs red in this gripping tale of power, prophecy, and betrayal. When Macbeth receives a haunting prediction from three mysterious witches, he and his wife set forth on a bloody path toward the throne of Scotland—no matter the cost. As guilt and paranoia unravel their minds, the natural world turns upside down, and fate tightens its grip. One of Shakespeare’s most thrilling tragedies, Macbeth is a chilling exploration of unchecked ambition and the price of moral compromise. With its ghostly visions, supernatural forces, and creeping dread, this dark masterpiece will leave you breathless long after the final blow is struck.

"All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players."

Banished from court and cast into the Forest of Arden, Rosalind disguises herself as a boy and discovers that love, freedom, and self-discovery thrive far from the rules of society. As shepherds, fools, lords, and lovers wander through the woods, mistaken identities and unexpected romances blossom under the trees. As You Like It is Shakespeare’s joyful celebration of love in all its forms—romantic, platonic, and delightfully chaotic. With music, mischief, and one of the most iconic heroines in the canon, this pastoral romp reminds us that sometimes the best way to find yourself… is to get a little lost.

"The truth is rarely pure and never simple."

Lies, love, and low-stakes scandal collide in Oscar Wilde’s deliciously absurd comedy of manners. Jack and Algernon each invent fictional alter egos—both conveniently named Ernest—to dodge social obligations and pursue romance, but their schemes unravel in spectacular fashion when their lies catch up with them. Between misplaced handbags, surprise engagements, and a fierce guardian named Lady Bracknell, The Importance of Being Earnest is a gloriously witty roast of class, marriage, and respectability. It's high society meets high drama—with all the charm, sass, and shade you'd expect from Wilde.
